Functions in AutoCAD

To make work with CAD drawings easy, users get access to the M-Files functions directly in Autodesk AutoCAD. You can access the functions from the File menu or the M-Files menu.

M-Files functions in AutoCAD:

  • Open from M-Files
  • Save to M-Files
  • Check Out
  • Check In
  • Undo Checkout

These functions are not supported in AutoCAD LT. The supported AutoCAD versions are specified in the M-Files Lifecycle Policy.

For more information about these functions, see Functions in Microsoft Word, Microsoft Excel and Microsoft PowerPoint.

With the Insert Field option, you can add M-Files metadata to drawings and AutoCAD fields. In AutoCAD, you can find the M-Files metadata fields in the M-Files field category in the Field selection dialog. For more information, see Add M-Files Property.
